Flex has just informed us that the new version v3.8 or SmartSDR will be released next week. SmartSDR v3.8 will be for all FLEX-6000 series radios and will also be the first version for FLEX-8000 radios.
In preparation for installing the update, we want to remind you to back up your Profiles using the Profile Manager before upgrading just for safekeeping.
